The title is from a live blog entry on The Guardian website on the 10th of June. The post quoted Trump spreading a conspiracy theory that the Governor of California and the Mayor of LA had paid protestors to cause trouble. The not-so-subtle phrasing makes it quite clear what the ...

Conflict is the spice of storytelling! Whether it’s a comic, movie, or show, those moments of raw emotion often stick with us the longest. You know the ones—when characters clash, emotions boil over, and things get real. A fiery argument can leave your readers on the edge of ...

It seems like every single “badass” in TV, Movies, books and comics is “ex-special forces” or something like it these days. It's become a meaningless cliche. Writers use it as a shortcut to show ...
Trust is the Biggest Asset
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, May 31, 2025
It's not really talked about much, since trust isn't as flamboyant or flashy as love or praise or admiration. However, I think a strong case can be made that it is the most invaluable element defining human relationships on pretty much every aspect and every scale.
We see ...
How we remember (the clothing of) a time.

I recently rewatched the The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus, which is a 1996 released concert actually performed in December 1968. Various performers, including Jethro Tull, The Who, Taj Mahal, and Marianne Faithfull each perform a song. There were a few circus acts as well, including a fire eater ...

Random Quail comics
Gunwallace at 12:00AM, May 22, 2025
The ‘Quail’s Random' list of comics on The Duck front page is a holdover from the early days of Drunk Duck. There have been occasional noises made about removing it, but when push comes to shove people have spoken up for the random list. Personally, I like it. It ...
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome in Comics
Gunwallace at 12:00AM, May 15, 2025
The old 70s sitcom, Happy Days, is a mine of tropes. It's where we get the phrase “Jump the Shark” as there was an episode where The Fonz water-skied over a shark for some reason. Happy Days was also a spin-off generator, giving us Laverne and Shirley, Mork and ...

So, there you are, staring at that dreaded page with the words nobody wants to see: “I’m going on hiatus.”
Sometimes, it’s just a quick break, and you bounce back in no time. But other times… well, not so much. Don’t worry, though! I’ve got a ...
